By type, bicycles are divided into women's, men's or unisex models, depending on the different frame sizes and bicycle wheel sizes. If the frame material is important when choosing a bike, our selection is dominated by aluminum frames, which are characterized by lightness and durability, but we also have bicycles with a carbon fiber frame for those who want an even lighter and faster electric bike.
With an electric bike, you can easily overcome obstacles or climb a hill, go to work, the store, the park or visit grandma. The power of the electric motor helps you on longer journeys. Electric bikes are suitable for both short and long distances. They do not require gasoline, so they are environmentally friendly means of transportation. The battery life is not limited to 100 kilometers. Even if your trip is particularly long and the battery runs out, you can be sure that you will always return home pedaling like a regular bicycle. Electric bikes do not require vehicle registration.
What is the difference between electric bikes?
Electric bikes can be useful in both urban and rural environments, as well as for leisure and work. But not all of them are the same, let alone the same options. Our stores offer many different types, models and features of electric bicycles, which can affect their performance, durability and price. If you want to buy an electric bicycle that meets your goals and needs, you need to know how they differ and what to consider when choosing. We offer a guide to the working principle of electric bicycles, the most important components, advantages and disadvantages, and tips for making the right choice.
The working principle of electric bicycles
The working principle of electric bicycles is quite simple and similar to that of conventional bicycles. The biggest difference is that electric bicycles have a motor and a battery, which makes riding much easier and significantly increases the distances covered. Electric bicycles are propelled by the rider's muscular power, using pedals or handlebars, with the help of an additional electric motor. The main parts of an electric bicycle are the battery, controller and motor. The battery is responsible for supplying electricity to the motor. The controller is the brain that controls the motor and responds to the cyclist's movements. The motor is the power that provides the cyclist with additional support while riding.
The main parts of an electric bicycle are the battery, the controller, and the motor.
The working principle of an electric bicycle depends on where the motor is installed. There are two main types of motors: a central motor and a wheel-mounted motor. A central motor is installed in the middle of the bicycle, i.e. where the crankshafts are located. A wheel motor is built into one of the axles of the bicycle's wheels. A central motor is usually more powerful and efficient, but also more expensive and heavier. A motor built into the wheel is usually cheaper and lighter, but weaker and less stable.
The working principle of a bicycle also depends on how it responds to the cyclist's pedaling movements. There are two main types of pedaling: pedal force sensing (PAS) and pedal speed sensing (CAD). Pedal force detection means that the controller determines how hard the cyclist is pressing the pedals and adjusts the motor assistance accordingly. Pedal speed detection means that the controller determines how fast the cyclist is pedaling and adjusts the motor assistance accordingly. Pedal force detection usually provides a more natural and smooth ride, but at the same time it consumes more energy and is somewhat more complex. Pedal speed detection usually provides a smoother ride, but is less precise and refined.
Therefore, the working principle of an electric bike consists of several elements: the battery, the controller, the motor and the type of pedals. These elements determine the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of an electric bike. When choosing an electric bike, you should consider your needs, expectations and budget, and most importantly, how you will use it.
How to choose an electric bike motor?
As we mentioned earlier, the motor of an electric bike is one of its most important components, as it determines the speed of the bike, the possible distance covered and the comfort of the ride. When choosing a motor, you should consider several criteria, such as: motor type, power, speed and revolutions per minute.
Which is better: central or wheel-mounted motor
A central motor has several advantages over a wheel-mounted motor. Firstly, it provides better balance and maneuverability of the bike, since it is mounted low and in the middle. Secondly, it allows you to use the entire drive system and an optimal gear ratio. Thirdly, it is less susceptible to shocks or dirt. This motor is suitable for those who want a powerful and durable electric bike that is suitable for riding in difficult conditions, such as mountains, fields or forest areas.
A wheel-mounted motor also has several advantages over a central motor. Firstly, it is simpler and easier to install or replace. Secondly, it does not create additional friction or noise. Thirdly, it is cheaper and lighter. A wheel-mounted motor is suitable for those who want an economical and lighter electric bike that is suitable for riding on flat or slightly sloping terrain.
Another important aspect is the motor power
The motor power is related to how much electricity it can convert into mechanical energy. The motor power is measured in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW). The higher the motor power, the higher the speed and overload capacity it can provide the cyclist. However, a higher motor power also means a greater load on the battery and a shorter possible range. It is important to know that in Lithuania the maximum permitted motor power for electric bikes is 1 kW. This means that an electric bike with a power of 1000 W is considered legal, but more powerful bikes would already be classified in a separate vehicle category.
What speed can you develop when riding an electric bike?
The speed developed by the motor is also related to how fast it can rotate. The speed of the motor is measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). The higher the motor speed, the more speed it can provide to the cyclist. However, a higher motor speed also means a higher load on the battery, which means that the distance traveled is also shorter. In addition, in some countries there are restrictions on the speed of electric bicycles. For example, in Lithuania, the maximum permitted design speed of electric bicycles is 25 km/h. Therefore, the electric bicycles offered in our stores have restrictions, although their design speed may be higher.
What is important when choosing an electric bicycle motor?
When choosing an electric bicycle motor, you need to find the right balance between power and speed, taking into account your needs, expectations and budget. If you want to ride more and longer, you should choose a motor with lower power and speed, which would save battery power. If you want to ride faster and easier, you should choose a motor with higher power and speed, which would provide additional support. You should also consider the terrain and surrounding conditions. If you want to ride on hilly or uneven terrain, you should choose mid-drive motors, which are more powerful and efficient. If you want to ride in the city, on flat or slightly sloping terrain, you should choose in-drive motors, which are cheaper and lighter.
Did you know that the choice of battery determines the mileage?
The choice of battery based on mileage is one of the most important factors when choosing an electric bike. The battery is responsible for the electric energy. The capacity, voltage and type of the battery determine how many kilometers you can travel on a single charge.
Battery capacity?
The capacity of the battery is related to how much electricity it can store. The capacity of the battery is measured in ampere-hours (Ah) or watt-hours (Wh). The larger the battery capacity, the greater the distance you can travel on a single charge. However, a larger battery capacity also means a larger battery weight, size and price. In addition, other factors can also affect battery capacity, such as engine power, riding speed, terrain, weather conditions and the weight of the cyclist.
So battery capacity is not the only indicator that determines range.
Battery voltage?
Battery voltage is related to how much electricity it can supply to the motor. Voltage is measured in volts (V). The higher the battery voltage, the faster the speed and overload capacity it can offer the cyclist. However, a higher battery voltage also means a greater load on the battery and a shorter possible range. In addition, the battery voltage must be compatible with the motor voltage to ensure the proper operation of the electric bike.
Battery type?
The battery type is related to the material it is made of. There are many different types of batteries, but the most commonly used for electric bikes are lithium-ion (Li-Ion) or lithium-polymer (Li-Po). They have a higher capacity and a lower specific discharge rate. Secondly, they are lighter and smaller. Thirdly, they have a longer lifespan and are less harmful to the environment.
What is important when choosing a battery?
When choosing a battery, you need to find the right balance between capacity, voltage and type based on the distance you want to travel, taking into account your needs, expectations and budget. Those who want to ride longer distances and for longer periods of time should choose a battery with a higher capacity and lower voltage, which saves electricity. If you want to ride faster, you should choose a battery with a lower capacity and higher voltage.
Pay attention to these aspects when choosing an electric bike
In addition, when choosing an electric bike, it is important to consider where and how the battery is integrated. Many of our electric bikes have batteries mounted externally or on the bike frame, but they can be easily disconnected in just a few seconds. Such batteries are particularly convenient because they do not require the entire bike to be plugged into an electrical outlet to charge them, and most importantly, if you leave such a bike turned on in a public place, the battery can be disconnected and taken with you for safety reasons. Integrated batteries are those that can be removed simply by unscrewing certain screws and disconnecting certain wires. Such batteries are usually charged by connecting the bike to an electrical source and charging directly.
